Those are too big and wasteful. Here's the real money-saver:

Wow. 8.C.4.c Really? I guess when we make a reservation, we better be sure.

The Company shall pay all fees associated with scheduled deadhead tickets. Fees associated with an unused deviation ticket shall not be allowable unless a Company schedule change was the reason why the ticket could not be used, or had to be changed. These costs/fees shall be handled in accordance with Section 8.C.5.b., and shall be limited to the actual cost but shall not exceed $25 per transaction.
Note: When a deviating pilot arranges for the booking of his deviation travel, either via an electronic system(s) or by phone contact with the Company’s travel department or vendor, the Company is responsible for any of the above-listed fees that may be incurred due to the cancellation of the scheduled travel, and/or the booking of the pilot’s deviation travel itinerary. However, in the event the pilot makes any subsequent changes to his deviation travel itinerary, and if those changes result in any of the above-listed fees, he shall be responsible for those fees.

At the risk of being accused of selling the TA, I don't see much difference with current policy/procedures. I am currently on a roundtrip non refundable ticket. I always figured that if something happens I would eat the ticket. Part of the commuting lifestyle, hopefully made easier with more realistic accepted fares.

Step away from the edge boys... this is not a concession.

• Limited deviation DH ticketing fees to $25 after the 2nd change (8.C.4.c.) Current language allows all
deviation ticketing fees to be passed on to the pilot.[although it is not currently enforced]

Where does it say that we are responsible for cancellation fees? It's not that I don't believe you, I just couldn't find it. Nor have I ever been charged for these fees...

I thought we were going to fix loopholes and tighten up the language. Sorry I must have misunderstood the union. My bad!!!

I'm sure the company won't exploit this or any of the other concessions and weak language in this TA. If CD and the NC trust them I guess all of us should too. After all FedEx has never taken advantage of us in the past right?
